A number = x

x divided by 7 = x/7

is less than = <

-3 = -3

You're question is: x/7 < -3

Simplify it. Isolate the x. Multiply 7 to both sides

(x/7)(7) < (-3)(7)

x < (-3)(7)

Simplify, multiply.

x < -21

x < -21 is your answer

First let's write this: x/7<-3

To get rid of /7 we need to multiply by seven, so we do -3*7; which is -21

Bring down the symbol and you have x<-21

Anything less than -21, for example -28, would solve the inequality.

The answer would be: D-100. The reasoning of this is because if you take 3 X 10 to the third power and did the exponent (10 to the third power in this case) and multiplied it you would obviously get 1,000 for an answer. Then would would do 1,000 X 3 to get 3,000.
